Although INSIDER can't independently verify any of the claims, they sure are entertaining to read.

From calling in "dead" to starting a fire in the office while making pizza rolls, here are 14 wil things people have done at work — and somehow still kept their jobs.

1/

1. She called in "dead."

Her coworkers thought she was dead for four days.

"My roommate had a girl call in dead to work. She was too hungover so got her roommate to call her boss and say she died in a car accident. Everyone in her team thought she was dead for four days until she turned up the following Monday as if nothing happened. She didn't get fired and works in HR." - ImNotVeryImaginative

2. He passed out drunk on the floor.

He was just sent home to sleep it off.

"Kid came in an hour late, still drunk from the party he'd attended the previous night. He fell asleep on the floor in the middle of the office. He was sent home to sleep it off.

I was fired two weeks later for washing my uniform wrong. Government work, everybody! Never again." - phroexx

3. She had a profanity-filled meltdown.

"A co-worker asked to leave early, was told it was busy and she was needed. Proceeded to cuss out the supervisor and stormed out. Supervisor calls her back a few minutes later to write her up for her little meltdown, co-worker has bigger screaming meltdown, is threatening supervisor, security has to come and escort her from the building. She walks back in an hour later swearing at everyone, security quickly escorts her out again.

She was back the next day like nothing ever happened, she still works there. She's usually a sweet lady, too." - ihopeyoulikeapples

But... how?

"Back in high school I did landscaping during the summers. I sunk a $10,000+ commercial lawnmower. And I mean I SUNK it. Like 15 feet deep, 25 feet out into a manmade pond." - BearGunner18

5. They vandalized their workplace with pizza.

They didn't even have to clean it up.

"Three dudes ran outside of the store (work at a pizza place) in the middle of the evening shift. They throw a pizza dough, bag of pizza sauce, and salad of all things onto the side of the building, while on the clock. They vandalize the store, with the company's product, while being paid, and they don't get fired... I ended up cleaning [it] off the wall. Still no raise." - spinner198

6. They threw a ketchup bottle at the boss's face.

"One of my coworkers threw a ketchup bottle at the boss's face; she ducked and it splattered on the wall behind her." - eepeppeep

7. He destroyed a BMW.

Oops.
BMW

"Once saw a valet flatten another customer's BMW with a gigantic truck as he was pulling out of the parking spot. He stayed on for another year or so.

Couple months after this, a guy was fired for taking his phone out on a slow night." - DealerCamel

8. She gave co-workers "special" brownies.

That's one way to get through the day.
Sydney Kramer/INSIDER

"The girl that sits next to me at work offered me a 'brownie' at my desk. It was wasn't just a brownie, you could say. She didn't get fired, but she quit the next month." - smxgkid

9. He came in after hours and was mistaken for a burglar.

He was almost arrested.

"I screwed up pretty bad one Christmas. Was playing beer pong with friends and we ran out of beer. No biggie, I managed a daiquiri shop in town and regularly got beer after hours. Usually I just went alone but I was too drunk so we all piled in the car. We get to the shop, I do my thing and grab snacks, cigs, beer, etc.

As I set the alarm and lock up, I come around the corner to nine red dots pointing at me. Cops are screaming, 'Hands in the air! Get on the ground!' I throw everything down and the cops jump on me. They have all my friends spread-eagle on the ground.

Turns out someone broke into a business around the corner, so the cops thought we were the burglars.

Called the owner, he comes to the store and confirms who I was. They let us go and keep the beer. Only because I had left the money for it in the register.

Boss man calls me the next day and gives me a $1,000 Christmas bonus and his old big screen." - Ketamical

10. He blended his Band-Aid into a customer's smoothie.

"My co-worker accidentally blended his Band-Aid into a smoothie. Our boss had asked the dude to wear a glove, but for some reason he didn't... The poor customer had already [drunk] almost half the drink before she found out." - stevofromguam

11. He drenched his manager with cleaning solution.

Why did he think that was a good idea?

"As a teen, I worked in a grocery store and this other teenage kid was goofing off 'til he got caught by a manager. The manager started reprimanding him when, mid-rant, the kid picked up a spray bottle full of cleaner and drenched the manager. The guy just walked away. Didn't fire the kid. No mention of it." - MrWorthIt

12. He served alcohol to a 7-year-old.

"I work at a bar that both adults and children come to. A 7-year-old asked for a Shirley Temple (Sprite and grenadine mix) and my co-worker ended up giving her a Tito's (vodka) and cranberry juice. The girl complains to her mom claiming it doesn't taste like Sprite. As expected, the mom comes back to the bar and asked for three Sprites and to 'try not to put any booze in these. They're for the kids.'

I was confused since I hadn't found out what he did until later on. That happened about two months after he was hired... I have no idea how he's still here." - StankyToes
